It really has nothing to do…
It really has nothing to do with your “tolerant, joyful left.” It’s a $140 k car that doesn’t really operate as a truck. It cannot haul, tow or carry much more than some groceries and a light load from Home Depot. Also from an investment point of view Teslas crater in value when musk decides to cut the price. If you are a tradesmen and you roll up in one I think A) someone is paying for this car, it’s not paying for itself in “work” b) if you’re my financial planner/estate lawyer maybe I should reconsider your actual common sense.
So am I foolish that I don’t want to fund this useless automobile/midlife crisis? It’s my money, I’m allowed to spend it as I see fit. You go ahead and hire the bros rolling in a fleet of cyber trucks. My contractors roll up in heavy duty trucks that help them do their job. Don’t jump to poorly thought out conclusions, I get it’s the prevue of the misspoken/joking right-however it doesn’t play well in writing or in Germany apparently.
